How Many Facebook Likes Can You Buy For $3.8 Million?

NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RFI Studios announced today it will launch LikeBlitz.com, a web app designed to measure and display in real-time the number of new Facebook Likes advertising brands receive during the broadcast of Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday, February 3rd. LikeBlitz.com will track brands that advertise during the game as soon as the game begins and results will be displayed on a dynamic leader board that will continually refresh throughout the game.

"We were just curious about the social pay-off of a $3.8 million television commercial," said Scott Schneider, Chief Digital Officer. "We think a Facebook Like has a 'gateway effect' on a person's social engagement with a brand, so we made something simple that you could look at in real-time during the game."

The LikeBlitz tracker is optimized for all screens so football fans, ad junkies, and marketing industry followers will be able to easily keep tabs on the 'best' and 'worst' performing advertising brands throughout the game no matter where they are watching.
